Wii Cheats

This page contains a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets for Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition for Wii. If you've discovered a cheat you'd like to add to the page, or have a correction, please click EDIT and add it.

After you set down the King and Queens grail you come to a part where there are a bunch of the "bug" type enemies. You must shoot the chains to drop a bridge.

If you have the patience to kill all the enemies, shoot the hive type thing in the middle of the room. It will go to a cutscene where it shows the hive fall into the pit and after there are about 10 items you can pick up, all of which are the "red, green, or blue eyes" used on the Butterfly Lamp. They can also be sold separately for easy money.

When you are low on ammo but have to kill a few enemies try to group them together, shoot the frontman of the group in the head making him stumble then, run up and kick, this should knock down or push back all of the enemies. When they are on the ground simply knife them. Since they are grouped together you should be able to slash a few at a time killing multiple enemies quickly while only using one bullet.

The P.R.L 412 Weapon is a laser gun with unlimited ammo (it is shown briefly in the attract mode if you leave your game running on the start menu). The weapon is used by charging up and then releasing bolts of energy into one or many enemies or objects (boxes and barrels can destroyed). Just ready your weapon (hold B) then hold down the A button until the weapon charges to your desired level. Note that the PRL412 only destroys the not-zombies with parasites in them and does not affect enemies without parasites.

Clear the game a second time (you must load the once-cleared game file) on Normal or Professional difficulty (the costumes are stored separately with each difficulty) for special costume set 2.

Leon can do some hat tricks with this costume set. I haven’t had the chance to test out how to perform all the moves, but I believe you have to have the Chicago Typewriter weapon equipped to perform these somewhat comical actions (see list below):

Hat Adjust: Hold the ready weapon button (B) and perform the reload weapon gesture with the Wii Remote. Since this weapon has unlimited ammo Leon will just adjust his hat.

Hat Toss: Hold the ready weapon button (B) and perform a quick DOWN then UP motion with the Wii Remote. This is the more comical of the two gestures, but doesn’t always work; you may perform the Hat Adjust move more often.

Ashley will unlock a metal suit of armor that protects her from any damage and prevents enemies from carrying her away. Now you can leave Ashley were ever you desire in the current area without worrying about her being child-napped.

(Editors' note: There is one part when Leon must snipe drivers on a tunnel digging machine that threatens to crush Ashley; you can let the machine clip though Ashley, the zombies die, and the gate unlocks for armored Ashley to escape.)

Before shooting a treasure into the dirty well, blast the piece of wood propping up the cover to keep the item clean. This is the only way that Ada will pick up those treasures and it will also ensure a higher value when selling to the merchant.

(Editors' note: you can accidentally raise the lid once more if you close it by pressing Action; you cannot clost the well once you do so).

If you’d like to earn money to tune up or purchase additional weapons before you continue on with the game this is a good way to do it as long as you have time to kill.

Where ever you see chickens running around hang around for a while and they’ll lay an egg. Once you collect a couple eggs leave the area and come back. The chickens will lay more eggs each time you leave and return to the area.

One of the best locations to do this is the area where you first see the Blue Medallions and receive the memo from the merchant. That area has three cows are in the pen and two in the barn. There are about six chickens running around in both pens. This one can definitely take some time, but the chickens have all day and seem to lay an endless number of eggs.

Shoot 10 of the fifteen blue medallions in the game. There is a map you can find in the farm area just beyond the first village with the bell tower. After collecting the map, the locations of all fifteen medallions will appear on your map. When you've destroyed at least 10, talk to the merchant for a free gun.

In order to unlock the Rocket Launcher Special you beat the game on Normal and you get a chance too buy the Matilda and the Infinite Launcher. The Matilda is $70,000 and the Infinite Launcher is $1000000.

This process incurs several continues, which have no bearing on the game's ending. At the first El Gigante fight, there is a Yellow Herb in the boss arena. Take this item and combine it with any of the Green Herbs in the same room and use it. This increases Leon's lifebar slightly.

Now let the boss kill Leon. Since the boss' room is at a map transition (the green OPEN command is a dead giveaway), this lets you continue right at the boss fight but with Leon's life increase from your previous attempt. Repeating this process will increase Leon's lifebar to maximum prematurely. Extra Yellow Herbs found later can be given to Ashley, or sold to the merchant for money.

Whenever you upgrade your gun's capacity it fills the weapon with ammo. So don't reload before you buy the upgrade. This works great with weapons that have very little ammo (such as the magnum revolver 'Broken Butterfly'); after you use up the gun's magazine, simply look for the merchant and upgrade the ammo capacity.
